If so, what did you think of them? Did you succeed with their program? What did you like or dislike? Is it MLM? What about the products? I am interested in hearing what you all have to say-please help me!

HI, Laura My name is Candi I live just above atlanta georgia and also have 2 children (hoping for anither soon!). Anyways about Melaleuca I jioned melaleuca November 2005. I faithfully use their products and love them. As things happen around the house (things always happen) once or twice one child has gotten one of the bottles and sprayed the other one in the face or in their own mouth! These bottles are in the top cabinet in my laudry room but still my 2 and 3 yr olds always seem to get them! Anway I never had a problem when these kind of accidents occur. For those simple reasons I choose to shop for safer products. As far as the business goes that is what you make of it. If you work hard you will definitely get you rewards. I began trying out the business on a very part time basis since I work full time as an ICU Nurse. after only a few months I have a significant income that mostly comes from introducing family and friends to safer products. I have personally found them to be a rewarding company as well as an excellent business team. The claim is the products are on avg 30% cheaper per use than the national brands... so far I have found 95% of that to be true I think that really depends on what you buy. Melaleuca in my opinion has a lot to do with how you hold the impotance of using safer (for you and the environment) products over all. That is what makes or breaks you with this company. ALL IN MY PERSONAL OPINION! lol if you want to see the site the team offers you to work your business through you are welcome to look at mine http://candi.stayinhomeandlovinit.com also on this site is tons of member info training, basically anything you need and anyone you would ever need to train with is there. hope this helps.

I considered working with them and came to the same conclusion as one of the other posters....it's more money than I want to invest or spend, either way you look at it. I don't spend $50 on households every month and if I were buying their concentrated products, I'd buy even less! Think about it, If you just bought four bottles of window cleaner...how long before you will need more? That would last me for two years! ((vinegar is an odaor remover and will leave windows clean and streak-free. It can be purchased at the grocery store for $1 per gallon.) I go to the dollar stores and buy the name brands for cheaper than most stores sell them. I only spend approximately $20-$30 a month. I also use many home remedies that are harmless to your health, cheaper and just as effective.

I started with Melaleuca in December. It wasn't until I tried the products that I decided to pursue this as a business. I have been happy with everything. The customer service I've received from their office is outstanding. And, I'm happy that the team I am on provides training and support. I've never recived that from any other at home business I've tried. I love the Tough & Tender. It takes any stains out of my sink, and I can use it to clean produce. There are many uses for it. I also am very fond of the SoluMel. It actually removed a black Sharpie marker from my favorite jeans, and has taken out stains in the carpet. You only have to use 1 oz. of the laundry detergent. And the price is right. It's only $14.99 for a 96 oz bottle--96 loads!!We don't have a problem with the 35 point commitment. We purchase these same items already each month, so we just switched stores, and get healthier and safer products at the same time. We my family feels like we have a win/win situation. I would love to help you if you have any other questions. You can email me at woodwork4you@gmail.com

i love the products. Especially the one they just came out with recently, the luxury shampoo and conditioner its the best. The 35 BV points doesnt bother me as much, because others go to 100BV or more points per month. Plus I always spend about 2-3 items in the store for $40.00, but with melaleuca $80 I get 10 items or more. Sometimes I go up to 50BV points because I replace the store products for the melaleuca products such as disinfectants, bathroom cleaners, kitchen cleaner, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, detergents and plenty more. Its better if you sign up with a team. My team leader helps me do interviews and presentations for interested applicants, she also shares some of her contacts so we can sign them up and help them build the business. I was so inspired with her story because she used to work in this corporation and now she stays at home with her 2 year old and they get to go on vacations anytime. Even if I didn't pursue it as a business, I would still continue using their products.

Hello. I have been a Melaleuca customer for almost a year now, and am technically a business builder, but I'll admit I haven't had the time to devote to building the business...One of my New Year's Resolutions. However, as a customer, I can tell you that I love the products. I've only had to request a refund/exchange on one product, and the company was very helpful in doing so, and included my replacement product with my next order, and didn't even ask me to return the product we were dissatisfied with. I like the products because they seem to be safer for the home, and I find I feel better physically since we started using them, particularly the cleaning products and the personal care/bathing products. The Renew lotion is the only product we've found that clears up my daughter's exema (spelling?). Because we have an energy-efficient, front-loading washer, we only have to use half the recommended amount of laundry detergent, so when used propperly, I get over 100 loads out of the 96-ounce container. Their PreSpot and Sol-U-Mel remove stains and clean things other commercial cleaners we've tried won't clean. Unlike bleach, the odors from the EcoSense product line do not give me a headache or cause nausea, which my wife appreciates because it means I can help her with cleaning more easily. My supervisor at work was the one who got us enrolled...At first, I was very skeptical, but my wife had some experience with the products because of her parents using them, and she felt we should go for it. I say this because we're both very skeptical about work-at-home opportunities, products you don't find readily available at the store, and things like that. My only complaint about Melaleuca, frankly, doesn't affect too many people. As a blind person, I find their website, particularly the online store and the business center, tricky to use with a screenreader. I've brought this to their attention, but so far, have seen no changes. As I said, however, it IS the only complaint I have. If you're interested in maybe seeing some literature on Melaleuca, you should take a look at www.rmbarry.com. They publish guidebooks on how to use Melaleuca products, as well as a great wealth of information about the company. As far as I know, they are Independent from Melaleuca itself. I am in no way affiliated with RM Barry, and provide the link for informational purposes only. As far as meeting the 35-point monthly minimum, my family and I have had no trouble doing this. In fact, usually, we're in the 40-45 point range. We not only buy the cleaning products and hygene products, but we also buy the pharmaceutical products, and occasionally the skin care and Vitality (vitamin/mineral) products. If you haven't done it already, I'd recommend getting together with someone you know and trust who's involved with Melaleuca, and sitting down for the New Horizons presentation. Everything is layed out for you, and I've found, at least with my team, questions are answered quickly and without double-talk. After the presentation, you can more easily decide whether or not Melaleuca is right for you and your family.
